Abstract:In this talk, Dr. Hwang will address several research frontiers for exploiting massive parallelism inmany-core GPU clusters, effective data protection in Internet clouds,and innovative applications onthe clouds, datacenters, and the Internet of things (IoT). He will address the issues of ubiquity andmobility, performance scalability, energy-efficiency, and system-availability in both HPC (high-performance computing) and HTC (high-throughput computing) systems. He will assess the roles ofmany-core, virtualization, sensing and tracking technologies in Internet clouds and IoT development.Dr. Hwang will review the success stories of the fastest supercomputers (Tianhe-1A and Jaguar),present new cloud security infrastructure, and discuss privacy protection issues in social networks.Based on recent advances in these areas, he will address the research challenges with illustratedexamples on scientific discovery over Peta- or Exa-scale supercomputers, upgrading business andweb services with public clouds over virtualized datacenters, protecting social networking with privacycontrol, and promoting ubiquitous applications over the emerging Internet of things.About the Speaker:Kai Hwang is a Professor of EE/CS at the University of Southern California.
